The Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 676: Exploration of the City of the Dead

Views:

Kant rode a camel and walked out of the city gate under the cover of guards in plain clothes.

However, there was a lot of noise outside the city gate, but no one recognized that this was the lord of Dherim.

Kant and his party, disguised as a caravan, traveled in the desert for seven days and arrived at the city of the dead.

The undead domain mark at the city gate has been replaced with the domain mark of Dherim.

Kant's guards called the guards on the city gate to open the gate. Under the welcome of the guards, Kant got off the camel and asked the soldier commander, "Where is General Yadonis?"

"Report to the lord, the general is leading a team on patrol in the city, and he should be on the way here." The soldier commander bowed his head and replied respectfully.

"Well, take me to your barracks. I'll wait for him there." Kant nodded and said.

"Yes." The soldier stood at attention and replied, and after ordering a soldier beside him to deliver a message to General Yadonis, he mounted his horse and let Kant follow behind him.

Kant rode on the camel and walked slowly. On the way, he also browsed the urban planning and design of the undead tribe, which was slightly different from the normal human city.

After just a little observation, Kant found that it was exactly as he thought: the cities of the undead tribe are all composed of stone houses, the distances between each other are uneven, and the width of the occupied land is also very different. The streets were also distorted by the construction of these houses.

However, the houses on both sides of the street have been completely dismantled by the repair personnel sent by Deherim. Kant only imagined the original appearance of the city of the dead after observing the exposed foundation and the stone paved on the street.

Along with the sightseeing all the way, Kant also probably had an idea of the repair project in his heart.

Entering the barracks, Kant sat down on the chief general's seat and waited quietly.

"Lord Kant!" With a shout, a tall soldier in battle uniform walked into Kant's tent.

"General Yadonis, long time no see." Kant stood up and greeted with a smile.

Yadonis walked up to Kant and saluted, and said out of breath, "I heard from the soldiers guarding the city that you had arrived here, so I rushed over immediately. I thought you would arrive here tomorrow, after all, there are often times in the desert recently. Blowing up the wind. Really bad weather for travel."

Kant responded with a smile: "You came here within a short while after I came here. Why are you in such a hurry? Let's take a breath and rest."

After finishing speaking, Kant ordered the guards on the side to bring a glass of water to Yadonis. After thanking Yadonis for taking it, he immediately drank it.

"Sorry, I'm sorry." Yadonis wiped his mouth and apologized.

Kant knew that his nature was like this, he didn't say anything, and shook his head with a smile.

"Is the lord here this time for a renovation project?" Yadonis asked.

"Probably, I don't plan to stay here for long. I just came to see how the place is going." Immediately, Kant didn't know what to think of, and suddenly turned his head and asked: "This... hasn't been named yet, right?"

"Yes." Yadonis scratched his head and said, "Someone in the team submitted a proposal for the city name to you before, but there was no response. We don't know how to specifically call this place."

"Oh. Maybe I missed it." Kant nodded as if recalling something.

In fact, the documents from the minister or from other territories are thought to be numerous, and they will be classified into various levels. Kant was only responsible for dealing with the upper and third classes, and the rest were handed over to the high-ranking ministers who usually discuss national policies together.

A simple and cumbersome matter like naming was probably passed on to the minister in charge and ignored.

However, Kant did not say that he did not see it. The courtiers and officers who submitted the text only knew that they needed to mark the importance level of the document according to the priority of the matter. But he didn't know that part of the copy would not be sent to the lord.

Thinking about it now, Kant feels that such a process is really not very rigorous, and mistakes may occur at any time. After the empire is established, amendments must be made in the newly promulgated constitution, so that the imperial machinery can be operated without any flaws.

Yadonis didn't think much about it, but replied: "I heard that you, the lord, will correct the papers in the Senate Hall until late at night every day. Recently, Deherim often has to go out to fight. You will forget such trivial things, the lord. It’s also inevitable omissions.”

"Have the rumors about me spread so far to you?" Kant said in a joking tone: "Why don't you discuss the name of this city and decide for yourself. After all, you are the ones who have been guarding here. "

"Really?" Yadonis looked a little surprised. They should be the first batch of soldiers to decide the name of the country's colony.

"Yeah." Kant nodded: "But before you choose a name, you have to check the background of the name, don't think it sounds good."

"Okay, thank you Lord." Yadonis excitedly agreed.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the site to oversee the work with the troops responsible for the repairs. You should tell the people in the army in advance. Let them do what they need to do, and don't care about me." Kant said to Yadonis in detail.

"Follow the order." Yadonis bowed and agreed.

Kant's short-term residence in the main city of the kingdom of the dead was not in the military camp, but was repairing the newly built residential buildings next to the original site of the imperial palace.

Kant's room was arranged on the third floor, while the other guards rested on the second floor.

After Kant entered the famous residence, he looked around, then climbed the stairs and walked into his room.

The room is very spacious and all facilities are well prepared.

"Unfortunately, there is nothing outside the window." Standing by the window, Kant commented, looking at the ruins of the old palace after demolition.

The atmosphere here is completely different from that of Cumberland. Judging from the current trend, this place should be built into a typical industrial city in the future. Responsible for the provision of raw material processing and the like.

Still, it and Cumberland do complement Dherim's deficiencies aptly.

"Boom!" The guard knocked on the door of the room.

Kant yelled to let him in, and the guard opened the door and placed several stacks of blueprints on the table in the living room, and said to Kant respectfully: "My lord, this is sent by Yadonis from the repairman. Please take a look."

Kant nodded, indicating that he understood.

After the soldier took the candlestick close to the drawing a little farther away, he left.

Kant sat down on the ground, and began to pick up the design drawings and read them carefully.
